Increasing body anthropometry brings substantial spinal stress, which influences the spinal curvatures; this in turn may affect the foot plantar pressure distribution.
This study investigated the impact of body anthropometry on static plantar pressure distribution and their relationship among handball players and non-athletes subjects.
Thirty handball players aged from 21 to 26 years, and thirty age-matched non-athletes subjects aged from 21 to 28 years participated in this study. The spinal lordosis and kyphosis angles, trunk length, pelvic tilting, and pelvic rotation were evaluated using Formetric 4-dimensions and the Pedoscan device was used to assess the plantar pressure distribution.
The handball players were significantly taller, heavier, and have a long trunk length than non-athletes group (p < 0.05), and a significantly increased thoracic kyphosis, forefeet pressure distribution compared to non-athletes group (p < 0.05). The handball players had a significantly increased forefeet pressure distribution compared to the rearfeet pressure distribution (p < 0.05), a high positive correlation between body height, and both trunk length and kyphosis angle (r = 0.932, 0.665 respectively), and the body height showed a high positive correlation with the forefeet pressure distribution (r = 0.665). There was a high positive correlation between the handball players' thoracic kyphosis and forefeet pressure distribution (r = 0.751).
Increasing the handball players' body height was related to increased thoracic kyphosis and forefeet pressure distribution compared to non-athletes subjects. Additionally, the kyphotic posture of handball players is associated with increasing the total forefeet pressure distribution compared to the total rearfeet pressure distribution.
身体人类学的增加会给脊柱带来巨大的压力，从而影响脊柱的弯曲度；这反过来又可能影响足底压力分布。
本研究旨在探讨身体人类学对静态足底压力分布的影响及其与手球运动员和非运动员受试者之间的关系。
本研究纳入了 30 名年龄在 21 至 26 岁的手球运动员和 30 名年龄匹配的非运动员受试者。使用 Formetric 4 维度评估脊柱前凸和后凸角度、躯干长度、骨盆倾斜和骨盆旋转，使用 Pedoscan 设备评估足底压力分布。
手球运动员的身高、体重和躯干长度均显著高于非运动员组（p<0.05），且与非运动员组相比，手球运动员的胸椎后凸、前足压力分布显著增加（p<0.05）。与后足压力分布相比，手球运动员的前足压力分布显著增加（p<0.05），身高与躯干长度和后凸角呈高度正相关（r=0.932、0.665），身高与前足压力分布呈高度正相关（r=0.665）。手球运动员的胸椎后凸与前足压力分布呈高度正相关（r=0.751）。
与非运动员相比，手球运动员身高的增加与胸椎后凸和前足压力分布的增加有关。此外，与后足压力分布相比，手球运动员的后凸姿势与总前足压力分布的增加有关。
